I feel like…more than marching in the streets…focusing on folks with progressive agendas and values winning local, state, and U.S. congressional elections is the only way to fight back.

The slogan for the resistance ought to be “See you at the midterms 🖕🏽Delon Trusk!”

Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is cool and all but I think classes like "How to calm the fuck down as an adult in a healthy non self-destructive way 101" is something that should also be taught before graduation

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

The deployment of ICE agents in downtown Chicago today reminded me of the flash marches that neo-Nazi groups carry out when they all pile out of vans and march around for a bit to make propaganda videos, then quickly leave. Except these assholes have the force of law and kidnapped people.

As governor, I have made it a priority to not only protect but also promote the fundamental right of women to choose if and when and how they will have children.

Every woman should be informed, empowered, and supported when she makes that decision.
